<pre class="" id="comment_text_6" style="white-space:pre-wrap;width:50em;color:rgb(51,51,51)">I have the same problem as Jason. Sometimes after starting (GDM) or restarting
(ALT-F2 r) gnome-shell, my desktop appears but is unresponsive to mouse clicks.
I managed to create a screenshot [1]. Notice that my user's name is not displayed
on the top right of the screen, and the network indicator shows disconnected
state. When gnome-shell starts up properly, my user's name is displayed and
network indicator shows connected state.
When gnome-shell is unresponsive I can switch to the console using CTRL+ALT+F1,
login as the same user and restart gnome-shell with the following command:
killall -9 gnome-shell. Gnome-Shell will restart and everything works fine
afterwards.
I have installed Debian Wheezy for a couple of weeks on my personal desktop,
personal laptop and business laptop, and the same issue occurs on all three
systems.</pre><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://www.sdlw.nl/files/gnome-shell-startup.png">http://www.sdlw.nl/files/gnome-shell-startup.png</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>-- <br>Sander de Leeuw<br>
